Last season, we've seen one of the best players in the history of the NBA decide that it was time to call it a career. Dwyane Wade, who played in the league for 15 years, had one of the most memorable ‘retirement seasons' ever. He was swapping jerseys with some of the opposing teams' best players, he was getting tribute videos, standing ovations, and what seemed like a never-ending appreciation from everyone.

It's been three months since, but according to Wade, he's still not sure how he feels about retirement. He told Khobi Price of the Chicago Sun-Times that he'll wait until the seasons start to have a better perspective about how it affects him.

“I don’t even know yet. It’s only been three months into the summer. I haven’t even been retired yet. I’ll let you know when the NBA season starts back up.”

Since his retirement, Wade has posted photos and videos of him having fun, drinking wine, playing golf, and a lot more. But as a player, who just decided to call it quits, of course, the desire to play is still with him. Now, this is not an indication that he will come out of retirement anytime soon, so maybe he just wants a little more time to really feel what it's like to not be playing in the NBA after 1 1/2 decades.

One thing is for sure though, fans miss Wade, and no matter what happens, he will always be recognized as one of the game's greatest superstars.
